Wherever we are in life, there’s a person or a handful of people backing us up. They’re our best friends, bestie or bff whom we can just turn to when life gets gloomy or even when we are at our happiest. It’s true when they say that a problem shared is a problem halved or solved. And it’s also true that happiness multiplies when shared. Apart from our family, we have people in our lives whom we treat as sisters or brothers at heart, our dearest best friends, of course! There’s actually a day aimed to celebrate National Best Friend’s day and if you are looking for a pleasant gift to give on that celebratory date or probably for their birthday, then you can definitely count on us! Because that’s what best friends do.

I remember, being young and having a whole community of best friends, but as I get older (but still young at heart), my friendship gaming reduced in half. But that’s not a bad thing, as we mature, we change and we grow. A best friend to me can be many things, an inspiration, a confidante, someone that I can fully trust and someone whom I have the strongest bond. I try to keep my friendship to a minimum because stronger relationships are far more important than having too many acquaintances, quality over quantity in all aspects of life; that’s what I wanted to drive.

Now when it comes to giving gifts and surprising them, you may want to move the heavens and mountains to make it happen. And it’s never about material gifts and all sorts of tangible stuff, but it’s really the thought that counts!

So on to our gifts and friendships, I’ve rounded up 30 gift items to celebrate life with your BFF! Cross my heart and hope to die, these gifts will surely make them say, awww!

Add some humor to your gift, by giving her this candle with a hilarious statement. This vanilla and waffles scented candle is comparable to you and your best friend, they go well together and create a tasteful aroma.

Candles may be a common gift to give, but it makes a functional present because you can give it all year round. A candle also symbolizes friendship, like being a light in times of need and isn’t friendship a light in someone else’s heart?

If your bestie shares the same love for wine, then this personalized wine glass should come to mind. It’s customizable, so you can choose your preferred design or name to put on. There’s gift wrapping options on the website, too, they can do a handwritten note for you so this makes this gift readily available.

But just a tip: To give it your own personal touch, you can wrap it yourself and let your hand do the writing, there’s nothing better than a well thought out present.

A hard day’s work deserve some pampering in the tub, so let your best friend get some splash before bedtime. This kit offers a relaxing experience in the comfort of her home. Your best friend may need to de-stress at some point, but going to a spa may not be feasible at the moment, so bring the spa to her instead. This is an all-organic kit that has essential oils to soothe her muscle sores, her bath time ritual will surely level up.

If she’s into gardening or anything greens, especially non-artificial ones, then try giving her an air plant. Air Plants are known to be nature’s wonders that need a little care. They do not require soil and can just be attached to an object. Just like your friendship with her, I hope that it continues to grow in the years to come.

A timeless symbol of a lasting friendship, this infinity necklace comes in a card with a note in it. Really, it’s an ideal gift to give, for the person who you consider as a sister, not in blood but in your heart.

As conjoined circles that have no edges, no beginning, no end, this necklace will represent the kind of friendship you have– something that will last a lifetime.

You may want to pair that necklace with a cute and meaningful bracelet, so that her daily accessories are now being covered. This bracelet is a total charm, dainty and gorgeous; definitely a pleasant gift to give which comes in a gift box.

No amount of space and distance can set true friendship apart, let this lamp remind you both of that. Ideal to buy it in pairs, so if your bestie lives far away from you, this lamp will let you light up their life in an ambient glow. This type of lamp is techie enough, connected to a wi-fi that when you touch one lamp, its pair will also light up. Now that’s a unique way of telling your best friend that you are thinking about her.

Oh and how can we forget some Sconza chocolate, your friendship is really the sweetest thing on earth!

Something that lasts and will never get old, is a photo of you together displayed on the wood. Very complimentary as a home or room decor, but one thing is sure, your best friend will have it as a treasure.

So if you want to be blunt or just show your humorous side, these coasters will just let you be outrageous in the most comical way. After all, your best friend knows you for sure!

If your friend is into crystals or you may want to introduce her to these stones that are considered to have healing properties, then grab this box full of happiness, joy and energy. What I like about this kit is that they can simply display it anywhere in their home and let the positive aura and energy just enter into their humble abode.

If she’s the Thelma to your Louise or maybe she’s the Dory to your Marlin, then these best friend tumblers are a great gift for her and yourself.

These are ideal as a groomsman or a groom’s wedding cufflinks, you can have it personalized and have his initials or wedding date engraved in them. Oh how we love gifts that can be customized just so they look as though you’ve put more effort and thought on it.

If you think this is a weird thing to give to your besite, think twice. How many times did they say that their phone’s battery is running low and they can’t talk right now? Well, maybe it’s just a lame excuse, but what if… what if they are telling the truth? Problem solved!

Tea is known to either calm or wake up our senses, but this caffeinated wonder isn’t only good for the stomach but also works well to soothe those tired eyes. Let your friend have some pampering time before or after she sleeps, we all hate those pesky eyebags that even makeup can’t conceal.

Give her something unique, earthy and environmental-friendly with these tree globes that came from recycled materials, like glass. We help save the environment from unnecessary waste and make her feel special by giving her something that’s a work of art.

This could also be a symbolism of friendship, like a tree with many branches and leaves, you are deep-rooted and knows the value of friendship.

If your bestie lives miles away from you, then you may want to give her this cuddly throw pillow. So that even if she is far away, she has something with her to remember you. A pillow, like your friendship, gives comfort, security and an item that she can lean on.

While it’s a sweet and a thoughtful gesture to give our loved ones, family or friends, a bouquet of flowers, let’s be more realistic, they usually just ends up in the trash. Now we found a way of eternally storing the rose, with this handmade preserved flower rose, you can be sure that it will stay looking fresh and unwithered, just like your friendship with her. THe gift box that comes with the rose is remarkable in terms of both quality and materials.

Rustic textured and creatively decorated, this pottery bowl is a charming gift to give to your best friend, either as a housewarming gift, a bon voyage gift, or a birthday gift. There’s a lot of reasons to give this to your best friend. This has been meticulously done with the use of clay and glaze, so you can be certain that this is worth it. The bowls come beautifully packaged in a wooden box, that is so cool, it can be a “standalone” present itself!

Not sure if you would want to give this to your bestie, or you want it for yourself, but one good thing about it is it’s not that expensive. A bang for your bank, indeed!

Now for that best mate who is so hardworking, let this kit take care of his hygiene, not that he’s unhygienic or something, but this is the most convenient way to keep his body clean and also soothe his dry skin. From foot salve, scrubs and balms, these stuff are made especially for that hardworking man.

This may come as random gift but I think this is so meaningful for any relationship, whether it’s a family or friendship bond, what I want to say is that wherever path life leads us, the map of life will always bring us back to our loved ones. So if your best friend is moving away or maybe just moving to a new house, consider this as a charming gift for that charmer friend you have.

It’s just nice to know that we have a person who will love and accept us for who we are, the jolly, candid, sometimes moody person that we are.
